I think they may be listed as Ernest L and Helen Archer, boarders at South Cliff Hotel, Bellevue Road, Southbourne, Christchurch, Hampshire. He is listed as a medical practitioner, age 50, birth place N.K. (not known); she is age 45, birthplace also N.K.

Hi Helen I’m sorry I can’t find them on the 1911 census via Ancestry but someone more skilled than me might. I do however think I have found the baptismal record for Edmond Lewis ARCHER who was born 16th September 1849 baptism date 18th January 1850 at Westminster St Anne Soho parents Thomas & Frances of Gerrard street(?)

Hi Ruth I think it is 'Joan daughter of Georg Haripath and Joan his wife baptized May 10 ye 2s to be pd by Joan Haripath living in Pilton and noe other taxe to be pd for ye birth of ye sd (said) child??' Between 1684 and 1706 a fee of 6d plus tax was paid on baptisms. The more well known tax on baptisms came in in 1783.

Thanks to Brad and Barry for their replies. It looks like the problem is with me. I tried again and failed, then after a few minutes tried once more and succeeded.
